Not a nice place to live -
11/17/2014 I have lived here for almost 8 years and hate it. The only thing keeping me here is the low cost of living.
My biggest gripes are the sketchy people ,climate, and crime. My husband and I live in a condo in Summerlin, which is one of the nicest areas. Our neighbor was just evicted for conducting a Meth lab. My husband and I recently took a vacation to Utah and were amazed at how normal and nice everyone seemed. I did not want to come back to drug addicts, purple hair and criminals.
Summers are HOT!!! Unbearable. What's really disapointing is I look forward to the fall and spring mild temperatures but it is ruined by wind!
Crime is out of control. I drove to the east side of town and noticed lots of police activity. We have had numerous problems in our complex and police are too slow to respond, if they respond at all. I guess they are overloaded with calls!
Home prices are very low compared to other states. So, once you buy property here, it will be difficult to find a comparable home in other states if you decide Vegas is not for you.
The lure of the strip, attracted my husband and I to move to Vegas. Ironically it's the crime and corruption of living near the strip that is driving us out!

Truth about living in Vegas -
9/3/2007When we lived in Calif. we could'nt wait to spend a weekend in Vegas. There was nothing more exciting than the strip. So we moved here.
Three years later, the strip is no longer exciting in fact we try to avoid it.
The crime is unbelievable. People are not friendly and many are out to scam you. The weather is unbearable in the summer.
If you must move here I would only recommend moving to Summerlin area of Las Vegas. It is the only area that is actually safe for your family.
I loved Las Vegas when I was a tourist. But it's best to remain a tourist in my opinion. But if you are considering moving here. I honestly have to tell you, think twice. Don't make a mistake.
